I've had a couple bug reports closed with WONTFIX, despite the reports being perfectly documented and diagnosed. To summarise the reasoning - "your hardware is too old or buggy, so we can't be bothered". I operate a 7x24 production environment with a few thousand customers, so I understand the reasoning with respect to aiming for an SLES release. I have also not reopened any of those bugreports.
But - is it right for openSUSE to move towards an environment where only recent hardware is supported properly? The hardware I'm talking about is datacentre-level servers (Compaq mostly), up to 7 or 8 years old. I can accept that SUSE gave up on supporting Intel 486s long ago, despite these being used in production in many environments around the world, but I'm not really comfortable with openSUSE taking on a Vista-like attitude of "if your hardware isn't up-to-date, you're effed". /Per Jessen, Zürich -- ENIDAN Technologies GmbH - managed email-security.
